Funeral OF Jenny Lind .Goldschmidt

LONDON, Nov. g. New York Herald
Cable-.Special to the BEE. "A Herald cor
respondent, who composed one OF the audi
ence welcoming Jenny Lind at Castle Gar
den, has just returned from her burial at
Malvern. She died recovering her full voice
and consciousness within only an hour before
dissolution when, asking for her sons and
family, she tendcrly bade them farewell.
Her little estate is called by the country
people winds Point" One neighbor told
me the little granite house with towers was
sometimes called "Nightingale's Nest" 1t
stands on the eastern slope of the Hereford
shire beacon, and except from the
hill, is entirely hidden from view by
Il small wood of spruce and fir trees. In the
prominent part, whence the view is particu-
larly charming, standsa round pavilion in the
shape of temple, which was built after her
own design Here she would often sit, sur
rounded by her children and grandchildren
She bought the place only four years ago. 1t
is four miles from Malvern abbey, where the
services were held. Consequently only the
mourners met at the house. These consisted
of her widower, Otto Goldschmidt, their
married son, Walter Goldschmidt and wife,
daughters, Mrs. Raymond, Maude and hus-
band, DIR. Felix Goldschmidt, Consul Ehcr-
berg of Sweden, ana Sir Michael
Biddulph, representing the queen.
The real mourners of the
family seemed to be the servants and vii
layers. There We're wreaths, bouquets and
cut flowers from nearly all the gentry of
Hereford and Worcester, and the Myrtle
wreath, made from spruce which she planted
on her wedding day, which was placed inside
the coffin, The queens wreath was of tiny
laurel leaves, mtertivined with tiny white
cIysauthenums; rose upon Tyre OF white
azelias was from the Prince of Wales; a
wreath of Dresden China imperial blush
rcseG and violets from the Grown Princess of
Sweden; another of tho same material from
the roya, college of music, Sweden, which
Jenny Lind founded, presenting the common
wild flowers Of that country; wreath OF
similar material of white lilies and forget
nonots from the Swedish minister. The
preCentor of Worcester cathedral and all his
chOristers were present Beneath the wealth
OF flowers on the rosewood casket, which lay

plate, Jenny Maria Lind Goldschmidt,'

Eor tho mcUrners the service was in neatly

was also given a hymn beginning, "Th'

ALMOST A PANIC.
Effect of the Announcement of the
kaiser's Dcath-Rerlin GOssin.


LCOpWight 1887 by james Gordon BerHett1
BERLIN, Nov 5.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. The fact that
the kaiser spent a large part of the week in
bed is leading the Germans to believe that
aged emperors are not superior to all the laws
of nature. On Tuesday the Berlin bourse
was for an hour dangerously near panic An
ingenious speculator, for whose identification
1000 marks are now offered sent out warn
ings to the principal brokers that the kalser's
death was hourly to be expected Quotations
began to drop and for while it looked as
though the bottom of the stock exchange had
dropped out. Prices We're held up by the
sides only Fortunately, as luck would have
il, the first real Improvement in the en-
peror's condition was announced that after
noon, so that the bourse recovered from its
fright. Since then the kaiser has slowly re-
covered, His bladder pains have been worse
than usual, complicated by rheumatism. Each
attack of this type exhausts the emperor more
and more and leaves him less able TO endure
its repetition, but at this time he seems safely
past danger. Barring another bit of such reck-
lessness as the Stettin trip or the Werniger-
odo hunt he will be able TO 90 safely for some
time. All that he insists on doing we have
had this week.
The opening of the postage stamp ex-
change, large seven ep-windowed room, was
crowded, One hundred and twenty nine sub
scribers registered their names. Prices were
astonishingly high. One stamp was quoted
as sold for 800 marks. While, according 10
official records, dealings at $50 to slO0 per
